  In this paper, dissimilar resistance spot welding of AISI 1075 eutectoid steel to AISI 201 stainless steel is investigated experimentally. For this purpose, the experiments are designed using response surface methodology and based on four-factor, five-level central composite design. The effects of process parameters such as welding current, welding time, cooling time and electrode force are investigated on the tensile-shear strength of resistance spot welds. The results show that tensile-shear strength of spot welds is increased with increase in the welding current and welding time. Also, it is concluded from results that with increasing the electrode force and cooling time, tensile-shear strength of welded joints is decreased. During tensile-shear tests, three failure modes are observed, namely interfacial, partial pullout and pullout modes. The analysis of variance for the tensile-shear strength indicates that the main effects of welding current, electrode force, welding time, cooling time, second- order effect of the welding current and cooling time, two level interactions of welding current with welding time, welding current with cooling time and electrode force with cooling time are significant model terms. The results of analysis of variance show that the presented model for tensile-shear strength of dissimilar resistance spot welds of AISI 1075 eutectoid steel to AISI 201 stainless steel can predict 95.00% of the experimental data and leave only 5.00% of the total variations as unexplained. تفاصيل المقالة

  In this research, microstructure and mechanical performance of dissimilar resistance spot welded DP780/DP980 dual-phase steels were studied utilizing optical microscope, microhardness, and tensile shear tests. Resistance spot welding (RSW) was performed in the current range of 7 to 12 kA, with 0.5 kA steps. At welding currents lower than 7 kA low amount of melting led to the very low strength of the joints due to small weld nugget diameter. The results showed that an increase in welding current from 7 kA up to 11 kA, result in an increase in weld nugget diameter. Further increase of welding current (higher than 11 kA), however decreased the weld nugget diameter due to severe melt expulsion. Microstructural studies showed that weld nugget was primarily comprised of martensite, and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of both sides of the joint was comprised of three different microstructural zones; upper-critical HAZ (UCHAZ), inter-critical HAZ (ICHAZ), and sub-critical HAZ(SCHAZ). Microhardness test showed that at both sides, softening occurred at SCHAZ. The results of the tensile shear test showed that both peak load and fracture energy of the joints followed approximately the same trend as weld diameter with welding current. Two different fracture modes of interfacial failure (IF) and pullout failure (PF) were observed in the tensile-shear test. At welding currents lower than 10 kA, the failure occurred in IF mode, while at higher welding currents, PF was dominant. Weld nugget diameter at welding current of 10 kA; i.e., critical weld nugget diameter, was ~8.5 mm. تفاصيل المقالة
